CFMX allows basic xml parsing in the simplest form(i.e array and structs) If you are trying to accomlish XML Parsing in the Popular or Best ways.. I suggest you use XML DOM Parsing with Java. You have alot functions like getParentNode(), getChildNode etc to accomplish tasks easier.. Here is some documentation on XML Node http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/org/w3c/dom/Node.html Joe Eugene > -----Original Message----- > From: Brad Roberts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 1:29 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: XML Question > > > Let me re-ask my question... > > What's the best way to insert a child element under <page > id="2">, when you > don't know where it's at in the XML doc?
